Exams & Training

BASIS plays a key role in the training and certification of people who work in the pesticide and fertiliser sectors. It sets the syllabuses and examination standards and maintains a list of Approved Trainers, Colleges and Training Providers who offer suitable training modules.

Courses range from 1-2 day short courses to intensive long-term courses, such as the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection. The training for the majority of BASIS courses is undertaken by external training providers based around the country.
